To be fair, when they break, usually it’s because someone broke it… and that someone is almost always the user. Like, sure, sometimes a fan stops working or a hard drive clunks itself to the big spinning platter in the sky, but 99% of “my computer isn’t working” situations are caused by someone filling their drive with junk, accidentally unplugging something while they were tidying up, installing some software that they shouldn’t have, etc.
